OT: 2018 NFL Thread Part II

[BenedictGomez]

Ehhh.... that's a tough one. Last year there's 0% change that's a catch, this year I dunno.

Usually in these situations they do WHATEVER they can to make the call on field be "correct", so my guess is they say his body hit the ground before the ball came 100% loose & it's ruled a good catch.

 

[Devils Dominion]

I think it’s a shame that LA can’t even muster up a real home field advantage.

What's the capacity there?

Rams fans have been pretty loud.
Dallas has an enormous fan base and the Rams are relatively new again to LA

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Can Seattle?

Blind squirrels find a nut now and then. It's all smoke and mirrors with this team. Always.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Don't look now. But. We have a ballgame here

Meh you're giving the Cowboys way too little respect. They have a good running game, good defense and the QB isn't completely horrible.

He's reverse jinxing, understandable

 

[BenedictGomez]

If the Eagles could somehow beat the Saints, it should be noted the Eagles absolutely shut this Rams team down in LA just a few weeks ago.

I've been a fan of this team for long enough and let down far too many times to have much respect.

I wish. This team isn't the Devils and frankly I don't care that much. I'm actually literally just complaining. I'm more interested in the eagles losing than the Cowboys winning.

But, you'd have to rather play Dallas

 

[BenedictGomez]

Cowboys or Rams, I'd be pretty confident either way. The Saints, however, that's a problem.

Dumbest play call of the year by the Rams going for it on 4th and 1 rather than making it a 2 possession game with 7 minutes to go.

Worst part about it though, is it's probably going to cost me the Under, lol.

Yeah that was a bit eyebrow raising but since they have run the ball so well all game I guess he figured it was a justified gamble.

Roughly 79k according to google. I can hear the Rams fans but I can also hear the DAL fans pretty clearly. And the Rams fans just aren’t that loud. I get it, it’s LA and they are largely more interested in that screenplay they are pushing or their follower count on Instagram but the league was so desperate to put a team there and I don’t see the long term interest.

I dont get it. Kick the gimme FG and you're up 11 points with just 7 minutes to go!

Dallas is not going to score a FG, a TD, and a 2-pt conversion in less than 7 minutes. It was a completely unnecessary risk.

They miss that and Dallas has momentum and it's a 1 score game! = DUMB.

That's a self inflicted wound. You NEVER count on the Cowboys to do something for you. If they can, they will disappoint a let you down.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Ugh........ defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

The under was going to win until that useless pass interference call in the endzone on 4th down. LOL


EDIT: And I'm not sure why that wasn't illegal contact rather than pass interference. The difference being dramatic.

 

[My3Sons]

Why are the refs so slow to make calls this season? I could see that was a TD by Prescott with my decrepit eyes from my couch.

 

[BenedictGomez]

If the NFC Championship is Rams versus Saints in a dome, the UNDER/OVER might be set at eleventy-billion.

 

[My3Sons]

Goff with a smart play there to run it.

I'll take the over

Don't worry, your team is going back to the SB.

Spoiler

Now I am reverse jinxing

 

[Devils Dominion]

I'm glad I didn't take Dallas and 7.5

 

[BenedictGomez]

Meh, my losing on the UNDER was worse. It took a series of bizarre coaching decisions & a strange interference call to push the OVER to the win.

Didnt lose 1¢ on the day though, so it's all good.

 

[glenwo2]

How about 'dem Cowboys?

So sad for the Cowboys fans.....really.
